Whoah... I didn't notice they had 5.25" and 4" versions as well!! Awesome!! Tang Band <3!!

The paper cone probably sounds pretty decent on midrange. Looking at their spec sheet, the 4" plays pretty damn flat from 100-8khz... you could probably have a 2-way comp set with that thing.

The 5" driver seems to be even more capable at midrange (on paper at least). Ohh wow I want one just to play with

I am sure a review will pop up on DIYma at some point. I am curious about the 4's because my Mach5 MLI-65 are very bottom friendly, but could use a little assistance in the 2k and up range. So if I could figure a way to work this TB in there I would probably aim for an 1000hz-3000hz range, letting the SEAS tweets pick up from 3000hz and up, while the MLI65s can run the 40hz-1000hz range with ease. While pushing the sub crossover point down to 50hz I think.

Well, considering the TB driver is designed for midbass, I assume midrange was only a secondary concern of theirs. They probably have many other more suitable drivers to fill 1000-3000.

Come to think of it, I bought one of these little 2" drivers to toy around with, and absolutely loved it. It would be perfect at fitting the 1000-3000 range as a mid-tweeter. It even plays pretty low, so you could run it 500-3000 or so, and give your Mach5 driver a bit more oomph on midbass.

I looked at that driver, but I worry about the power ratting. The W3 Neo model is a little better to suit my needs. If not maybe the PeerlessVline 10-03T I believe is the model number.
